I stopped at one of the big chain establishments laughingly called a parts store to buy a jug of anti-freeze and a couple of 1157 bulbs. I had used up my cash at a couple earlier stops so I handed the kid my one and only credit card which has my name, the expiration date, and the last four numbers punched out with a paper punch. I do this so my card is safe even if I lose it in a ghetto. He said he couldn't accept a mutilated card and I told him the magnetic strip was intact and that was all his card reader needed when he slid it through the slot. He still wouldn't accept this so I asked him if they did telephone sales to which he replied "yes". I asked the phone number, took my cell phone, called him, and ordered the anti-freeze and bulbs. I stood with my nose 18 inches from his while he obtained the information he needed for a telephone sale and walked out with my goods. If they're not allowed to think why don't they just use robots?
He's a candidate for this year's Darwin Awards! That is both hilarious and saddening at the same time.

Evan, That's great , QUICK thinking on your part. It would have never occurred to me to try that! Excellent-- at least one party in that exchange was using his head. Glenn
